A lot of people don’t own an iPad or live somewhere that doesn’t have an iBookstore. For them, I’ve just released a PDF version of the Paperless Field Guide. Go nuts. I looked at a lot of ways to deliver this PDF but ultimately decided on a simple PDF file (with embedded Internet links) and a folder containing all the screencasts. I didn’t bury the screencasts in the PDF for a few reasons:
-
It was going to be Flash-tastic, and I don’t like that.
-
Separating the video gives buyers the most options. You can put them in iTunes, or store it in a folder. You can also read the PDF separately.
It is a big download, weighing in at almost 900MB. Enjoy.
Overall, I’m thrilled with my first self published book. It is still #1 in the iTunes computer books category and I’m getting tons of great feedback. Moreover, yesterday I started a new Scrivener project. Stay tuned.
